How Does the Voucher Work?
Pet owners receive the voucher, either through email or direct mail. They make an appointment at a participating veterinarian for services. They give the voucher to the clinic and pay the remaining balance for services. For example, if the clinic charges $150 for a cat neuter, then the owner would pay the remaining balance after the voucher is applied. If the voucher is for $100, then the owner would need to pay the clinic the remaining $50 at the time services are rendered. The clinic sends the voucher to LBACS who then reimburses the clinic for the amount on the voucher. Voucher amounts are $60.95 for dogs and $100 for cats.
